Darren Aronofsky Maybe Possibly Doing a Preacher Movie (Almost Certainly Not)
And when I say “maybe possibly” I mean “no fucking way.” The rumor comes from an anonymous source as the comic site Newsarama, which is certainly more reliable than most British newspapers for Hollywood news, but in this case even the source says “Aronofsky is being targeted to direct” a Preacher movie, which is the equivalent of “some dude told me some other dude was thinking about it.” I only mention it on TR because holy shit wouldn’t it be nice. Not as nice as that once rumored HBO TV series version, but nice nonetheless.
